Depression, Estrogens, and Neuroinflammation: A Preclinical Review of Ketamine Treatment for Mood Disorders in Women

Author(s): Gagne C; Piot A; Brake WG;

Ketamine has been shown to acutely and rapidly ameliorate depression symptoms and suicidality. Given that women suffer from major depression at twice the rate of men, it is important to understand how ketamine works in the female brain. This review explores three themes. First, it examines our current understanding of the etiology of depression in women. ...

Sex differences in developmental patterns of neocortical astroglia: A mouse translatome database

Author(s): Rurak GM; Simard S; Freitas-Andrade M; Lacoste B; Charih F; Van Geel A; Stead J; Woodside B; Green JR; Coppola G; Salmaso N;

Astroglial cells are key players in the development and maintenance of neurons and neuronal networks. Astroglia express steroid hormone receptors and show rapid responses to hormonal manipulations. However, despite important sex differences in the cortex and hippocampus, few studies have examined ...

Search for magnetic monopoles produced via the Schwinger mechanism

Author(s): Acharya B; Alexandre J; Benes P; Bergmann B; Bertolucci S; Bevan A; Branzas H; Burian P; Campbell M; Cho YM; de Montigny M; De Roeck A; Ellis JR; Sawy ME; Fairbairn M; Felea D; Frank M; Gould O; Hays J; Hirt AM; Ho DL; Hung PQ; Janecek J ...

Electrically charged particles can be created by the decay of strong enough electric fields, a phenomenon known as the Schwinger mechanism1. By electromagnetic duality, a sufficiently strong magnetic field would similarly produce magnetic monopoles, if they exist2. Magnetic monopoles are hypothet ...

Decision-first modeling should guide decision making for emerging risks

Author(s): Morgan K; Collier ZA; Gilmore E; Schmitt K;

An emerging risk is characterized by scant published data, rapidly changing information, and an absence of existing models that can be directly used for prediction. Analysis may be further complicated by quickly evolving decision-maker priorities and the potential need to make decisions quickly as new information comes available. To provide a forum to dis ...

The Algorithms of Mindfulness

Author(s): Johannes Bruder

This paper analyzes notions and models of optimized cognition emerging at the intersections of psychology, neuroscience, and computing. What I somewhat polemically call the algorithms of mindfulness describes an ideal that determines algorithmic techniques of the self, geared at emotional resilience and creative cognition. A reframing of rest, exemplified ...

Conflict Resolution and Emotional Expression in Sibling and Mother-Adolescent Dyads: Within-Family and Across-Context Similarities

Author(s): Ferrar SJ; Stack DM; Baldassarre KS; Orsini A; Serbin LA;

Early adolescents (aged 12-15) were observed during dyadic conflict discussions with their siblings (n = 23) and mothers (n = 32) in their homes. The verbal conflict behaviors and affect of family members were coded continuously. Sequential analyses identified temporal associations between individuals' affect and their own and their partners' verb ...

Disturbance cues function as a background risk cue but not as an associative learning cue in tadpoles

Author(s): Rivera-Hernández IAE; Crane AL; Pollock MS; Ferrari MCO;

Chemical information has an important role in the sensory ecology of aquatic species. For aquatic prey, chemical cues are a vital source of information related to predator avoidance and risk assessment. For instance, alarm cues are released by prey that have been injured by predators. In addition to providing accurate information about current risk, repea ...

Development of the Japanese Version of the State Self-Compassion Scale (SSCS-J)

Author(s): Miyagawa Y; Tóth-Király I; Knox MC; Taniguchi J; Niiya Y;

Research in the U.S. developed and validated the State Self-Compassion Scale (SSCS), which measures self-compassionate reactions toward a specific negative event. The current study is aimed at developing the Japanese version of the State Self-Compassion Scale (SSCS-J) and extending previous findings in the U.S. by showing measurement invariance across sex ...

Inhomogeneous linear responses and transport in armchair graphene nanoribbons in the presence of elastic scattering

Author(s): Bahrami M; Vasilopoulos P;

Within linear-response theory we derive a response function that thoroughly accounts for the in?uence of elastic scattering and is valid beyond the long-wavelength limit. We use the theory to evaluate the polarization function and the conductivity in metallic armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) in the Lindhard approximation for intra-band and inter-band ...

Southeast Asian Dipterocarp origin and diversification driven by Africa-India floristic interchange

Author(s): Bansal M; Morley RJ; Nagaraju SK; Dutta S; Mishra AK; Selveraj J; Kumar S; Niyolia D; Harish SM; Abdelrahim OB; Hasan SE; Ramesh BR; Dayanandan S; Morley HP; Ashton PS; Prasad V;

The evolution and diversification of ancient megathermal angiosperm lineages with Africa-India origins in Asian tropical forests is poorly understood because of the lack of reliable fossils. Our palaeobiogeographical analysis of pollen fossils from Africa and India combined with molecular data an ...

Recent developments in photocatalysis of industrial effluents ։ A review and example of phenolic compounds degradation

Author(s): Motamedi M; Yerushalmi L; Haghighat F; Chen Z;

Industrial expansion and increased water consumption have created water scarcity concerns. Meanwhile, conventional wastewater purification methods have failed to degrade recalcitrant pollutants efficiently. The present review paper discusses the recent advances and challenges in photocatalytic processes applied for industrial effluents treatment, with res ...

Associations between family functioning during early to mid-childhood and weight status in childhood and adolescence: findings from a Quebec birth cohort

Author(s): Van Hulst A; Wills-Ibarra N; Nikiéma B; Kakinami L; Pratt KJ; Ball GDC;

Background: Impaired family functioning has been associated with obesity in children and adolescents, but few longitudinal studies exist. We examined whether family functioning from early to mid-childhood is associated with overweight and obesity in later childhood and adolescence. Methods: We examined data from the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Dev ...
